Remote Controller Profile
The Phantom 3 Advanced remote controller is a multi-function wireless communication device that integrates the video downlink system and aircraft remote control system. The video downlink and aircraft remote control system operate at 2.4 GHz. The remote controller features a number of camera control functions, such as taking and previewing photos and videos, as well as controlling gimbal motion. The remote controller is powered by a 2S rechargeable battery.DJI Phantom 3
The battery level is displayed via LED indicators on the front panel of the remote controller.
Refferences:
Compliance Version: The remote controller is compliant with both CE and FCC regulations.
Operating Mode: Control can be set to Mode 1 or Mode 2, or to a custom mode.
Mode 1: The right stick serves as the throttle.
Mode 2: The left stick serves as the throttle.
Note: To prevent transmission interference, do not operate more than three aircrafts.
Using the Remote Controller
Turning the Remote Controller On and Off
The Phantom 3 Advanced remote controller is powered by a 2S rechargeable battery that has a capacity of 6000 mAh. The battery level is indicated via the Battery Level LEDs on the front panel. Follow the steps below to turn on your remote controller:
1. When the remote controller is turned off, press the Power Button once. The Battery Level LEDs will display the current battery level.
2. Press and hold the Power Button to turn on the remote controller.
3. The remote controller will beep when it is turned on. The Status LED will rapidly blink green, indicating that the remote controller is linking to the aircraft. The Status LEDs will glow solid green when linking is complete.DJI Phantom 3
4. Repeat Step 2 to turn off the remote controller.
Turning the remote controller on and off.
Charging the Remote Controller
Charge the remote controller using the included charger. Refer to the figure on next page below for more details.
Charging the remote controller.
Controlling the Camera
Shoot videos/pictures, view recorded images, and adjust camera settings via the Shutter Button, Camera Settings Dial, Playback Button, and Video Recording Button on the remote controller
Controlling the camera.
[1] Camera Settings Dial
Turn the dial to adjust camera settings such as ISO, shutter speed, and aperture without letting go of the remote controller. Move the dial to left or right to scroll through pictures and videos in playback mode. Press down on the dial to toggle between these settings.
[2] Playback Button
Press to view images and videos that have already been captured.
[3] Shutter Button Press to take a photo. If burst mode is activated, multiple photos will be taken with a single press.
[4] Video Recoding Button
Press once to start recording video, then press again to stop recording.
[5] Gimbal Dial
Use this dial to control the tilt of the gimbal.
Controlling Aircraft
This section explains how to control the orientation of the aircraft through the remote controller. The Remote Control is set to Mode 2 by default.
Refference:
Stick Neutral/Mid-Point: Control sticks are in the center position. Moving the Control Stick: The control stick is pushed away from the center position.

Flight Mode Switch
Toggle the switch to select the desired flight mode.You may choose between; P-mode, F-mode and Amode.
Flight mode switch1.png Flight mode switch2
P-mode (Positioning): P-mode works best when the GPS signal is strong. There are three different versions of P-mode, which will be automatically selected by the Phantom 3 Advanced depending on GPS signal strength and the Vision Positioning sensors:
P-GPS: GPS and Vision Positioning both are available; the aircraft is using GPS for positioning.
P-OPTI: Vision Positioning is available but a sufficient GPS signal is not available. Aircraft is using only Vision Positioning for position holding.
P-ATTI: Neither GPS nor Vision Positioning is available, the aircraft is using only its barometer for positioning, so only altitude is maintained.
A-mode (Attitude): GPS and Vision Positioning System are not used for stabilization. The aircraft uses only its barometer to stabilize. The aircraft can automatically return to the Home Point if remote controller signal is lost and the Home Point was recorded successfully.
F-mode (Function): Intelligent Orientation Control (IOC) is activated in this mode. For more information about IOC, refer to the IOC section in the Appendix.
By default, the Flight Mode Switch is locked to P-mode. To unlock other flight modes, launch the DJI Pilot app, enter the “Camera” page, and tap “Mode”, then activate “Multiple Flight Mode”.
RTH Button
Press and hold the RTH button to start the Return-to-Home (RTH) procedure. The LED ring around the RTH Button will blink white to indicate that the aircraft is entering RTH mode. The aircraft will then return to the last recorded Home Point. Press this button again to cancel the RTH procedure and regain control of the aircraft.
RTH button.
Connecting Your Mobile Device
Tilt the mobile device holder to the desired position. Press the button on the side of the mobile device holder to release the clamp, and then place your mobile device into the cradle. Adjust the clamp down to secure the mobile device. To connect your mobile device to the remote controller using a USB cable, plug one end of the cable into your mobile device and the other end into the USB port on the back of the remote controller.

Optimal Transmission Range
The transmission signal between the aircraft and the remote controller is most reliable within the area that is depicted in the image below:
Optimal transmission range.
Ensure that the aircraft is flying within the optimal transmission zone. To achieve the best transmission performance, maintain the appropriate relationship between the operator and the aircraft.
Remote Controller Status LED
The Status LED reflects the strength of the connection between the remote controller and the aircraft. The RTH LED indicates the Return-to-Home status of the aircraft. The table below contains more information about these indicators.

Linking the Remote Controller
The remote controller is linked to your aircraft before delivery. Linking is only required when using a new remote controller for the first time. Follow these steps to link a new remote controller: 1. Turn on the remote controller and connect to the mobile device. Launch the DJI Pilot app.
2. Turn on the Intelligent Flight Battery.
3. Enter “Camera” and tap on Icon.png and then tap “Linking RC” button as shown below.
